Fatboy, 2003 As for tricks to remembering comparisons with routes, this is what I use US:. 5.1 - 5.9, just add 8 (approx), then . 5:10 and above, remember tha a's and work it out from there: 10a = 18, 11a = 22, 12a = 25, 13a = 28, 14a = 32 Passport would be 5.12 & Shark would be 5.13 ... Passport has had a few female ascents ... does that alter the extrap-or-lations?:P -----------------------------
